Even more effective when drunk on an empty stomach.
The arrival of colder weather puts our immune defenses to the test. Naturally, our immunity weakens in the fall, making us more permeable to seasonal viruses… colds, bronchitis, sinusitis, flu and all the best. Hence the importance of anticipating now and preparing your body to resist external attacks.
To boost your immunity during this transition period towards the colder months, each health professional has their little secret: propolis treatment, orange juice squeezed every morning, vitamin C tablet… Tips that are more or less easy to implement in your routine. On her Tik Tok account, nutritionist Maty Harrington shared a much lesser-known “hack.”Since I started drinking this gut health and immune system boosting drink every morning, my life has changed.“, she confided in her video which has now accumulated nearly 400,000 views. A hot drink made with raw, simple, anti-microbial and probiotic ingredients which “help support the good bacteria in our gut: top priority in fall/winter“, according to her.
To make the recipe, nothing could be simpler: just mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with the juice of half a lemon in a cup, “a secret weapon against bloating and constipation problems“. You then need to add a tablespoon of garlic juice fermented in honey – a less tedious step than it seems since it simply involves placing peeled and unsprouted garlic cloves in an airtight jar filled with liquid honey for several days, ideally several weeks: the liquid obtained is an excellent immunity booster. Then pour hot water over this mixture and mix everything together until you obtain a drink.”even more effective when drunk on an empty stomach in the morning“.
This drink, “it’s almost a guarantee that you won’t get sick“, she asserted with aplomb. However, because of its high acidity, people suffering from severe ulcers, gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux should seek the advice of their doctor before trying it.
